BURLEY, Idaho (AP) - A 26-year-old Rupert woman charged with 11 sex crimes against children has pleaded guilty to two amended charges.
The Times-News reports that Emily Thurber pleaded guilty in separate cases to sexual battery of a minor aged 16 to 17 and conspiracy to commit sex abuse of a minor under 16. In exchange for her guilty pleas, prosecutors have agreed to dismiss the remaining charges.
Prosecutors said the charges stem from abuse that occurred between 2005 and 2008 with two victims. Thurber's fiance, 30-year-old Joseph David Lentz of Idaho Falls, was accused of taking part in the abuse. He was sentenced in May to up to 16 years in prison for statutory rape and sexual abuse of a child.
